    The exact same as for installing 8.1.

    How can it be that people who claim to have no knowledge always finds LTSC to be the new OS for them:thinking:

    For some time I did not use Rufus or such anymore, I only use Ventoy. I've all my relevant ISOs on an external USB HDD and/or USB Flash drive, at this moment 1 USB HDD 640GB and 1 Flash Drive 64GB, both full with ISOs, that's all that I need!
    Just download Ventoy for free, and install it on a USB Drive, 2 partitions will be created, one for booting and the other for as many ISOs you like to have on it! Done that, boot from that USB drive, and select the ISO you like to install, an easy piece of cake!

    Its exactly the same as every other Windows OS.. Very few minimal changes and updates to the GUI only

    You can use the available tools in the sticky win 11 threads to skip the new minimum hardware requirements to be able to install 11 on that system (when desired).

    From 27/05 to 5/08 to finish the setup.

    Maybe your PC is not powerful enough :p

    Ok, your problem is solved so take this just as an info for the future.

    You need a flash drive only if your PC is unable to boot. But assuming you had W8.1 installed and working, all you had to do was to double click on the ISO to mount it, then doubleclick on setup.exe.

    Then you can choose if upgrade or do a fresh install.

    No Amazon involved ;)

    yes i know but you see sir i play star citizen i have a large org there , and this year i added an ssd drive to be able to run the game , but my os stayed on C: hhd
    so i wanted to install win10 on that ssd drive so i needed the usb drive , but after all that i failed because it said i can't install my windows 10 on a gpt drive so i had to install it on C: again :/

    i think i will need another month for activation it looks complicated
